Message Board Post:
Does anyone have info about the Callan/Collins families in Stamullin Parish, Meath? My
family was there from at least 1833-1837: Peter Callan, his wife Mary Ford Callan, their
children John, James, Peter, Bridget, and Mary. There were several other Callans in the
parish from 1831 through the 1870s, but I don't know if they were related to my
family. We changed our name to Collins during the 1860s after about 15 years in the
States (Durham, PA and Mineral Point, WI). Some other Callan families that remained in
Stamullin Parish also changed their names from Callan to Collins at about the same time.
Any info will be greatly appreciated!
